It's hard to believe it's 8:30 in the morning in this photo, isn't it. Gloomy, dreary, cold, and wet. Normally I like a good crisp snow fall, but this is not what this was. Yuck!!
All the more reason to finish my Flower Basket Shawl, both for warmth, and as a reminder of the sunny days of spring to come.
I am so loving this knit, and the colors, and the fiber. I'm just not sure I am crazy about the yarn for this project . It's Filatura Di Crosa's College in Herbal Garden. Hopefully with some vigorous blocking, I will come to love this project as much as I long to do.
Any input would be invaluable at this point, since I don't want to spend any more time on something about which people are going to say "Isn't that nice?, but really mean, "what the heck are you giving me"? You know what I'm talking about?

I used this yarn for my 1st FBS. I love how it blocked out. You're using a beautiful color.
I'm doing my 2nd FBS in it too in another color of Collage, but do plan to do at least one more repeat to make it a little larger. Look on my sidebar for the FBS category or in my finished gallery for photos.

Hello, fellow new-pretty-posies blogger!
That colour is gorgeous - and it's a stunning pattern too.
I think the yarn is a great match for the project. Never underestimate the power of blocking - it'll show off the pattern against the subtleties of the yarn.
